Understanding the Procedure
What is Gallbladder Surgery?
Gallbladder surgery, medically called cholecystectomy, removes the gallbladder — a small pear-shaped organ beneath the liver that stores bile. It is performed when gallstones cause pain, inflammation, or blockage of the bile ducts.
The laparoscopic approach uses three to four small incisions (5–10mm) through which a camera and instruments are inserted. The gallbladder is detached and removed through one of these ports. Recovery is dramatically faster than traditional open surgery, with most patients home within 24–48 hours.
Symptoms of gallbladder disease
- Sharp pain in the upper right abdomen, often after fatty meals
- Pain radiating to the right shoulder or back
- Nausea, vomiting, and bloating
- Fever with chills (indicating infection)
- Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice from bile duct blockage)
